AI Article Synopsis
- A 22-year-old man developed two pseudoaneurysms in the temporal region after experiencing trauma.
- The diagnosis of the second pseudoaneurysm was effectively made using digital subtraction angiography and ultrasound of the right external carotid artery.
- Surgical treatment involved ligating and resecting both aneurysms, highlighting the importance of recognizing concomitant pseudoaneurysms in trauma cases to avoid further surgeries.
Article Abstract
The authors present a case with a 22-year-old man suffering from a 2 pseudoaneurysms at the temporal region following trauma. The second pseudoaneurysm was diagnosed through an astute use of digital subtraction angiography along with ultrasound to the right external carotid artery which was preferred due to the presence of a vascular pathology at the region of the trauma. During surgery, the distal and proximal ends of both aneurysms were ligated and resected. The concomitant pseudoaneurysms and the use of digital subtraction angiography should be kept in mind in such trauma patients to prevent additional surgical interventions.
